These are improved line bred forms and are expected to be of better form and carriage to 'Blue Moon'.

Plants are flowering size in 2.5-3" pots.

Details:

A member of subgenus Rhizantha. This species is native to a small area of coastal Brazil. Growths are bifoliate and 4" - 6" tall. Inflorescences are erect to pendulous and produced from the base of the growths unlike other Cattleya species. Inflorescences are 4" - 6" long and carry 2 -3 flowers. Individual flowers are 4" - 5" across. Sepals and petals of this form are white with a light blue-pink cast. This is darker with brighter light. The labellum is white with a light blue-pink cast, a yellow disc and indigo blue veins on the apex. As is typical of members of sections Aclandiae and Rhizantha, this species requires either mounting or growing in pots in very open mix with large cork or bark nuggets. The roots must dry quickly after watering. Very bright light to 4500 fc is recommended.

I am totally astonished by the incredible quality of the plants you shipped and the amazingly great and secure packing job you did. I am totally blown away- I never in my life received plants in such incredible condition. You made my day!

The Phalaenopsis heiroglypica is lovely and arrived in perfect condition. I appreciate the fact that its already in spike. Please update me when the darker variety comes in so I can order it while it is in stock-- Addy A. Maine

The orchid arrived quickly & well protected in it's package for the ride to my house. I appreciate the affordability of your company and am excited to be able to purchase exotic orchids not available in flower shops and other stores in my city. This is my 2nd Catt, & compared to my 1st purchased at another online site, I can see that ordering from Marlow's Orchids was a sure bet! My orchid's root system & foliage is the picture of health! Thank you Marlow's Orchids, youve got yourselves a fan- Andrea L.

I ordered an orchid for my father and called to make sure it could ship in winter weather ok. I was very reassured and the orchid arrived in perfect condition on a cold December day. The heat pack was still warm. This has been a great experience, beginning to end. Martha

???Thanks for the great service. The orchid was extremely well packed and arrived unscathed. I look forward to visiting your greenhouses sometime this winter.

My experience at Marlow Orchids has been nothing short of excellent. Jim has taken more than enough time to help me pick out orchids that are best suited for my environment, and is extremely knowledgable, and helpful. I recommend Marlow Orchids to anyone looking to start or add to a collection Jonathan Jones
